Here you can look into the tunnel. There is always a cool breeze blowing out of the tunnel.

Around the Willibaldstollen III you get a great insight into ore mining. From the Willibaldhalde you have a beautiful view of Ramsbeck

The Willibald Stollen III belongs to the complex construction of all the Willibald Stollen I-IV
The Willibaldstollen III was the main conveyor line for the entire ore production.

The old Willibaldhalde, an excellent FFH area.
FFH means fauna, flora, habitat. In these areas, endangered and wild native plants should be protected.

The traditional climbing song of the mountain farmers.
Also known as "Steigermarsch" includes this song in joyful stanzas of the Steigerliedes. Mountain farmers saw this song as their hymn.

"Good luck, good luck!" Steiger comes
and he has his bright light at night,
and he has his bright light at night
already lit, already lit.

Has it lit, it casts its light,
and so we drive at night,
and that's how we drive at night
into the mine, into the mine.

Enter the mine, where the miners are,
they dig the silver and the gold at night,
they dig the silver and the gold at night
from rock, from rock.

One digs the silver, the other digs the gold.
And the black-brown maiden at night,
and the black-brown maiden at night
to be hold, to be hold.

Ade, Ade! Heart-loving mine!
And down there in the deep, dark shaft at night,
and down there in the deep, dark shaft at night,
there I think your, I think yours.

And I return home to my beloved,
then the miner's greeting rings out at night:
then the miner's greeting rings out at night:
Good luck, good luck !!! Good luck, good luck!

We are Bergleut ', kreuzbrave Leut',
because we carry the leather in front of the ass at night,
because we carry the leather in front of the ass at night
and drink schnapps, and drink schnapps! "

Old mining tunnel, unfortunately also closed, but there is a light switch. Nice rest area. Good view from the flue gas chimney and Ramsbeck. A beautiful place in nature.
